The experienced Maryland attorneys at Brassel, Alexander & Rice handle the defense of individuals charged with the possession or distribution of controlled substances, such as marijuana.

Under the new legislation, a medical patient could get a maximum of 6 ounces of marijuana every 30 days. The legislation is a complicated bill that regulates the entirety of the dispensary process. The Maryland Department of Health and Mental Hygiene (DHMH) would have to license dispensaries and establish registries of patients. Each patient prescribed medical marijuana would receive a photo ID from the DHMH, and would have to register to receive their medical marijuana from a single dispensary. DHMH would also regulate prices for the medical marijuana dispensed through the system, and would keep records on the system's operation.
